Pourt au Prince Earthquake

Only a few short weeks ago, we finished our tip through Haiti in Port au Prince. At the time, it was a thriving city - the epicenter of commercial life in Haiti. Over three million people live there, many in poverty. Yesterday, January 12, 2010, the worst earthquake in 200 years hit Haiti with its epicenter five miles from Pot au Prince. The city we saw no longer exists. In its place is devastation. We desperately hope that the Food for the Poor facilities and warehouse are not destroyed because thousands and thousands of people will need food from the supplies that they have. The medical needs of the people can only be imagined. A source for help to the people there is the Food for the Poor website, where donations can be made directly to the aid effort. I am providing a link to the most recent article on the quake here and a link to the Food for the Poor donation page. Anything you can do would be deeply appreciated. Our prayers are with them.
